I think you're onto something.

I haven't heard this take on the words, but its convincing TBH....just as much, perhaps moreso than the version I have been led to believe all along.

I Like a lot ... and the Theme song even more.

Da da da dadada........

I'm now convinced the opposition are trying to send up (impersonate, be similar to) our champions

I wonder when that expression first got used.

I tend to agree with this theory.

It was the job of the VFA, VFL, AFL to send us opposing teams.
SIMPLE !

OK this is more like it.

Basically I'll just agree with everything from now on.

The opposing teams are sending us their champions to play against.

I didn't know the song was so open to different interpretations.

I think the first 4 lines are obvious, and the meaning of the last 5 is dependent on whether they're sending "us" or "up".

If it's "us", then we're being sent to compete with all the champions.

If it's "up", then the champions are being sent up to play us.

Either way, it doesn't really matter, because we're going to keep our end up, i.e. perform well, and the other teams will know that they've been competing against a great team.
